New dataset targets toxicity in Punjabi music lyrics

Researchers have introduced the Punjabi Geet Toxicity Dataset (PGT-FG), a new resource designed to advance the detection of toxic content within Punjabi music. This dataset, compiled from YouTube songs, features 2,396 unique segments with detailed annotations including binary toxicity, eight fine-grained toxicity categories, severity, and sentiment. The dataset found that 29.42% of segments were labeled as toxic, with violence being the most prevalent category. PGT-FG aims to facilitate fine-grained analysis and toxicity detection in Punjabi multimodal content. AI

IMPACT Enables fine-grained toxicity detection in Punjabi music, potentially improving content moderation and analysis tools.
